Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

Sharks have gained an unfair reputation for being fierce predators of large sea animals Humanity's unfounded fear and hatred of these ancient creatures is leading to a worldwide slaughter that may result in the extinction of many coastal

shark species The shark is the victim of a warped attitude of wildlife protection; we strive only to protect the beautiful,

non-threatening parts of our environment And, in our efforts to restore only non-threatening parts of our earth, we ignore other important parts

A perfect illustration of this attitude is the contrasting attitude toward another large sea animal, the dolphin During

the 1980s, environmentalists in the United States protested the use of driftnets for tuna fishing in the Pacific Ocean since these nets also caught dolphins The environmentalists generated enough political and economic pressure to prevent tuna

companies from buying tuna that had been caught in driftnets In contrast to this effort on behalf of the dolphins, these same environmentalists have done very little to help save the Pacific Ocean sharks whose population has decreased nearly to the point of extinction Sharks are among the oldest creatures on earth, having survived in the seas for more than 350 million years They are extremely efficient animals, feeding on wounded or dying animals, thus performing

an important role in nature of weeding out the weaker animals in a species Just the fact that species such as the Great White Shark have managed to live in the oceans for so many millions of years is enough proof of their efficiency and

adaptability to changing environments It is time for us humans, who may not survive another 1,000 years at the rate we are

damaging the planet, to cast away our fears and begin considering the protection of sharks as an important part of a

program for protection of all 30 our natural environment

Question 30 How did environmentalists manage to protect dolphins?

A They prevented fishermen from selling them for meat

B They pressured fishermen into protecting dolphins by law

C They created sanctuaries where dolphin fishing was not allowed

D They brought political pressure against tuna companies.

Question 31 About how long have sharks lived on the planet?

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions

Robert Capa

1 Robert Capa is a name that has for many years been synonymous with war photography

2 Born in Hungary in 1913 as Friedmann Endre Ernő, Capa was forced to leave his native country after his involvement in anti government protests Capa had originally wanted to become a writer, but after his arrival in Berlin had first found work

as a photographer He later left Germany and moved to France due to the rise in Nazism He tried to find work as a

freelance journalist and it was here that he changed his name to Robert Capa, mainly because he thought it would sound more American

3 In 1936, after the breakout of the Spanish Civil war, Capa went to Spain and it was here over the next three years that he

built his reputation as a war photographer It was here too in 1936 that he took one of his most famous pictures, The Death

of a Loyalist Soldier One of Capa’s most famous quotes was 'If your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough.'

And he took his attitude of getting close to the action to an extreme His photograph, The Death of a Loyalist Soldier is a

prime example of this as Capa captures the very moment the soldier falls However, many have questioned the authenticity

of this photograph, claiming that it was staged

4 When World war II broke out, Capa was in New York, but he was soon back in Europe covering the war for Life magazine Some of his most famous work was created on 6th June 1944 when he swam ashore with the first assault on Omaha Beach in the D-Day invasion of Normandy Capa, armed only with two cameras, took more than one hundred photographs in the first hour of the landing, but a mistake in the darkroom during the drying of the film destroyed all but eight frames It was the images from these frames however that inspired the visual style of Steven Spielberg's Oscar winning movie ‘Saving Private Ryan’ When Life magazine published the photographs, they claimed that they were slightly out of focus, and Capa later used this as the title of his autobiographical account of the war

5 Capa’s private life was no less dramatic He was friend to many of Hollywood’s directors, actors and actresses In 1943

he fell in love with the wife of actor John Austin His affair with her lasted until the end of the war and became the subject

of his war memoirs He was at one time lover to actress Ingrid Bergman Their relationship finally ended in 1946 when he refused to settle in Hollywood and went off to Turkey

6 In 1947 Capa was among a group of photojournalists who founded Magnum Photos This was a co-operative

organisation set up to support photographers and help them to retain ownership of the copyright to their work

7 Capa went on to document many other wars He never attempted to glamorise war though, but to record the horror He once said, "The desire of any war photographer is to be put out of business."

8 Capa died as he had lived After promising not to photograph any more wars, he accepted an assignment to go to

Indochina to cover the first Indochina war On May 25th 1954 Capa was accompanying a French regiment when he left his jeep to take some photographs of the advance and stepped on a land mine He was taken to a nearby hospital, still clutching his camera, but was pronounced dead on arrival He left behind him a testament to the horrors of war and a standard for photojournalism that few others have been able to reach

9 Capa’s legacy has lived on though and in 1966 his brother Cornell founded the International Fund for Concerned

Photography in his honor There is also a Robert Capa Gold Medal, which is given to the photographer who publishes the best photographic reporting from abroad with evidence of exceptional courage But perhaps his greatest legacy of all are the haunting images of the human struggles that he captured
